Two competitions at this level这一级有两项比赛
- IPC OnlineIPC Online
- Two 30-minute sets of 20 multiple-choice questions, largely about physics ideas and wider reading; sat in school in the last week of January. A quiz for participation, in the official words, not an olympiad challenge两组各 30 分钟、各 20 道选择题，以物理概念与课外阅读为主；1 月最后一周在校完成。官方原话：这是重在参与的测验，而非奥赛式挑战
- IPC paperIPC 笔试
- One hour, with multiple-choice and short-answer sections testing basic physics principles at GCSE level一小时，选择题与简答题两部分，考查 GCSE 程度的基础物理原理
- Who参赛对象
- Year 11; younger students may enter, but not older11 年级；低年级可以参加，高年级不可以
- When时间
- Online: 26–30 January 2026. Paper: Friday 27 February 2026 (international schools: Monday 2 March)在线：2026 年 1 月 26–30 日。笔试：2026 年 2 月 27 日（周五）；国际学校 3 月 2 日（周一）

- Scale规模
- Over 6,000 students take part each year每年超过 6,000 名学生参加
Where it sits它在体系中的位置
IPC sits between the Junior Physics Challenge in Year 10 and the Senior Physics Challenge in Year 12. Like them it is a competition in its own right rather than a qualifier; its value is practice in the problem-solving style that runs all the way up to Round 1. The official advice is for students themselves to work through about four past papers.
IPC 位于 10 年级的初级物理挑战与 12 年级的高级物理挑战之间。和它们一样，IPC 是独立的比赛而不是资格赛；它的价值在于练习一种一路延伸到 Round 1 的解题风格。官方建议由学生自己做大约四套真题。
The whole ladder, from the Year 10 challenge to the international team, is set out on the BPhO overview.
